16[yes, a floor tom sometimes],18,20,22,24,26..in a lot of different configurations/heads/tunings/damping
whatever sounds good with that particular player.. in the room/on the song, on the day..
sometimes a 20" damped with no front head works for a fast punchy punk tune..
sometimes a big 'ol 2 headed felt stripped wide open ludwig 26" room mic'd for a big old Bonham thing [or new Secret Machines thing].
lots of variations available..
but a solid, well tuned 22" is a pretty good "All rounder".
